Trading Places: Ballers Vs. Rappers

The NBA playoffs were this weekend, and while you’re watching the games, here’s something to think about. Which NBA players best resemble the Rap artists of today? Who would best resemble Dwayne Wade, Jeremy Lin, or Dirk Nowitski?

We see them kick it in the club at NBA All-Star Weekend every year; they listen to Hip-Hop before games to get hype, and some NBA players love the music so much, that they even go on to start rap labels.

But, what if the existing NBA Players were some of today’s top rappers? And what if rappers were some of our favorite NBA players? Who would they be? Who are their parallel artists or ballers?
